A blade ,
A white canvas ,
Her arm the canvas
Grab the blade
Paint a picture
5, 6, 7, 8
Lines all neat and straight
Her picture made
A work of art
It came straight from her heart
She'll make another picture tomorrow.

'There will be bad days, there will be good days, there will be really bad days, and really good days, and days that are not bad or good but just simply suck, but either way you got through it and you are here today and that is all that really matters''

Wow, Lydia. This has to be my favourite poem you've written. It's so... I don't have the word for it. It's amazing. I absolutely adore how you turned SH into a work of art. Because for some people, that's what it is. It allows readers to really understand a person who SH's. This is incredible.

This is really nice! I pretty much agree with Lynds' comment here.

Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive

This is really good!! Amazing. I agree with Lynds.




From day one I talked about getting out
But not forgetting about
How all my worst fears are letting out
He said, "Why put a new address on the same old loneliness?"
When breathing just passes the time
Until we all just get old and die

Lynds said it perfectly. This is an amazing poem and I'm so glad you decided to share it with us.

wanderlust consumed her;
foreign hearts & exotic minds compelled her.
she had a gypsy soul
and a vibrant heart for the unknown.
